Therapists in Turin, GA

Welcom to my page! Thank you for being here :). My approach is about helping people make room for change in their lives. My personal and professional journey has centered on transformation and growth in people. I believe that our experiences and traumas are a result social interactions in our daily environments. This belief informs my therapeutic style, which tends to be collaborative, casual and conversational. While therapy is typically viewed as deep and serious, I think it should be cathartic and enjoyable. My focus is on how people can negotiate relationships and daily environments in a way that is healthy and minimizes harm to themselves and others. These environments include, but are not limited to the following: home, school, work, social media, the public, family, spirituality, etc. Therapy is a major step toward taking responsibility for oneself and their space in the world. My effectiveness lies in my intuitive skills and awareness of how our sociopolitical landscapes affect our lives. This includes the influences of social media, popular culture, and the current financial and political climate. Nothing happens in a vacuum and no one is truly alone. Ultimately, I strive to make the experience invaluable. That means making sure clients implement the skills to address their issues and see marked improvement in their lives.

Hi! My name is Dr. Lisa Davis, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Atlanta area. I have a PhD in Counseling, an MA in Communications and Training, and an MS in Counseling Psychology. I work with individuals with a wide range of concerns, including personality disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I believe in meeting my clients where they are at and providing a safe, judgment-free environment for my clients to be themselves. I like to encourage my clients to challenge themselves to become a better version of themselves. I would be a good match for anyone interested in a counselor who takes the approach of having you as a person's first attitude. I believe the passion I have for counseling is because I enjoy what I do.

Hello, My name is Eve Pearson-Marcus. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Georgia since 2009 and have worked in a variety of clinical settings. I’ve worked in hospitals, primary care clinics, met with clients in their homes, worked for a non-profit agency and counseling center, worked with soldiers and veterans in military settings, and had a private practice. In addition to my LCSW, I have also had a National Association of Social Work Advanced Credential in Case Management (C-ASWCM) in the past. That’s a fancy way of saying I’m good at connecting people with the resources they need! I would describe my primary therapeutic style as Person-Centered, but also may use Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Solution-focused, Eclectic, & Feminist theories at times. I have worked with a great variety of clients including individuals with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, LGBT issues, drug and alcohol issues, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and attention deficit, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders. I have also worked with individuals with Highly Functioning Autism ( formerly Asperger’s Syndrome) personality disorders, sexual disorders including paraphiliacs, and pedophilia. I’ve worked with many women during my career as a therapist and have always found it especially fulfilling to work with young people. Perhaps it’s because I was once a young woman facing many challenges of my own, or that I have two daughters of my own. I completely understand how overwhelming it can be to feel alone when you’re depressed, anxious, or in emotional pain of any kind. Whatever you are feeling, believe me, your issues are very real. I commend you for seeking help, because it’s not an easy thing to do. People of all ages are struggling with careers, job loss, and financial worries. Loneliness is epidemic and was especially difficult during the pandemic as people were separated from important family, personal, and work relationships. I believe in helping my clients bring their strengths forward and into the light. While it can be difficult, if not impossible, to acknowledge your strengths when you’re depressed, I can assure you everyone has strengths. We all need extra support at some point in our lives and I feel counseling should be as natural as going to the doctor, or even taking a college course. We are meant to always be learning, evolving, and improving ourselves. Lastly, I am confident in my ability to help my clients and have an excellent clinical toolbox to share. I commit to providing my clients with a strong system of support, and will always provide an accepting, non-judgmental, caring and safe environment.

You have the power to change and I can empower you to attain your goals. I am a wife, mother, an all-around outdoor enthusiast and I love to quilt. I genuinely want to know you beyond your concerns. I have worked in the mental health field for almost 15 years and fully licensed as a counselor for 6 years. During this time I have worked with clients experiencing a broad spectrum of issues, which makes me ideally suited to work with you. As a result I like to tell my clients "You cannot scare me off!" I do not shy away from challenges. I like to take an open and collaborative approach to therapy. I prefer to see the big picture with the positives and negatives identified, then work with to determine the best course of action to help you move forward. I want to find the tools which are perfect for you to apply to your life for the long term. I do believe you are in control of how you think, feel, and act about your life experiences. We will find solutions tailored specific for you to best navigate through life. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and sexual issues, parenting issues, pregnancy and peri-natal mood and anxiety disorders (pre and post-partum concerns), foster care and adoptions. I also have experience working with people diagnosed with schizophrenia, schizo-affective, and bipolar disorders; I have even worked with children as young as 5 utilizing play therapy. I feel comfortable wearing many hats and transitioning between different areas of concern. I am here for you. I will look forward to hearing from you soon. I am available for live video sessions only on Friday at this time.
